Aaaaaugh. Last-week-of-pregnancy spending spree continues! At least I seem to be buying things I have wanted to own consistently for many months, not total random impulse buys.

The bad news? My mom wants to take the kids up to Asheville to show them off to her aunt. This is most definitely a good idea, the woman is 80ish and my mom adores her and she's never met the kids and now we live close enough to make it an easy trip! But whatever travel costs I incur are just going to put us deeper in the hole for May.

Ugh! I have tonsilitis, so had to spend even more money on medicine today. I've spent more on medicine than on fun stuff this month, having an eye infection and now this and I'm having my windows cleaned on saturday, which is going to blow the rest of my home/garden money. Looks like the rest of the month is really going to be NO SPEND for me. ETA- on the upside, I sold our twin sized bed that we never use today for $100, which brings me $100 closer to being able to afford a new mattress for a bigger bed

Happy 21st, Stephanie! You make me feel so old I hope you have great day - and THEN that we BOTH get a handle on this eating out thing. :

I am having buyer's remorse on the box of Franzia wine. I don't care if my mother doesn't care, she is my guest and I am not giving her the world's crappiest box of wine to drink while she bounces my newborn for hours on end! It's going back to Walmart and I will spend probably the same $$$ for whatever nicer box is on sale at the wine superstore. Ditto the CVS brand silicone scar treatment bandages - they fall off! Back they go!

so far, i'm still mostly within budget, sundry is a little high this month but i really feel that needs to be adjusted...or else i need to stop buying ca baby on sale should be no spend until the 20th.
